Weekly Horoscopes April 16–22

Let’s get languidly luscious, astro babes. This week in the cosmos finds the Sun shifting from matches-and-lighter-fluid Aries to the rolling-in-the-silk-sheets stylings of earth goddess Taurus. The zodiac’s bovine bombshell brings us face-to-face with the dark-chocolate contours of our inherent value and asks us to feel into what it would really mean to open our palms wide to catch all the rose petals.

Receiving the good stuff is no easy feat, and with Pluto and Saturn stationing retrograde in Capricorn this week, trusting in the durability of ourselves and all we’ve created is up for review. Slow your roll as you learn to both relish the treats you truly deserve and mercilessly examine where structures you’ve built simply aren’t meant to last.

It’s a full-bodied week for beholding your beautiful self, rooting into the sensations of two feet on the ground, and taking what’s yours from the endless feast table without a single shred of scarcity mentality. Because you’re worth your weight in stardust and gold…

Taurus

Rallying Cry:

Hanging out exactly where I am is exactly where I’m meant to be.

Power Moves:

This week bring a shift in perspective for you, birthday babe, and this may not feel like the most comfortable sensation for a sign that loves to know that every object is exactly where you’ve left it. You are preparing for unprecedented leaps this year, and this week’s lesson is all about sitting with the unknowability of when exactly and how exactly these changes will manifest. If comfort is your craving, practice getting comfy with whatever sensations are arising. Treat them like delicious, nutritious snacks and settle in for a slumber party full of surprises that you can rise to meet with curiosity and your fullest appetite.

Gemini

Rallying Cry:

When I manage my force, I can start the fire.

Power Moves:

This is a steamrolling week for you, Gemstone, and your zone of deep dreams is activated in spades, preparing you for a distinctive blend of action and surrender. What is the particular flavor of power that you’re ready to bring to the world? Your body is in full-on tingle mode with the readiness to move it and shake it. But first, this necessitates some healthy choosing of where you’re launching those flames and wiggling that booty. Choose your partners and projects carefully, and know that anywhere you place your sweet, strong attention can burst in eternal flame. Light it up with maturity and grace.

Cancer

Rallying Cry:

My gift is my story, and I’m ready to tell it.

Power Moves:

You’re in a powerful blending week, Cancer, as the Sun shifts into your curious arena of synthesis and group sharing. Treat this time like a megamix of your greatest emotional hits. Consider the highs, the lows, and everything in between as part of your movie-montage history that belongs nearly and dearly to you. You don’t even have to consciously review your past; just mingle with it and let all its particularities spread out before you. It’s time to sample all the sensations that have come to pass and take their ingredients and lessons into your body experientially. You’ll know exactly how to grow from them in your own sweet time.

Leo

Rallying Cry:

Taking a sweet retreat reconnects me to my solar source.

Power Moves:

Pack up your bags this week and take a trip into the interior, Glitter Kitten. Whatever your real or metaphorical tree house looks like, this is a week to realign with the concept of inside space. As the Sun shifts into your zone of public, boardroom maneuvers, you’re nonethlessness asked to investigate the underpinnings of this exposure and balance it with some healthy retreat. You don’t have to apologize or explain any disappearing acts to anyone, least of all yourself. It is absolutely critical to your creative process and can reconnect you to your own roaring hearth that doesn’t need to be stoked by anyone or anything outside of yourself. Flame on.

Virgo

Rallying Cry:

Showing up for all the vibrations is my soul’s goal.

Power Moves:

With the Sun shifting into your endlessly exploratory zone of open roads and airplane peanuts, on the surface this is a glorious week for slathering up the emotional sunscreen and basking in what it feels like to blossom open to the good stuff. While you’re at it, though, you can soothe your sense of self-critique and extend this sense of soothing to any critiques of how you respond to joy. Banish any sense of guilt if you’re not fully enjoying the ride, and let this release from guilt actually lead you deeper into your own brand of happiness. You’re entitled to feel exactly how you feel about whatever is coming your way. Show up for it completely.

Libra

Rallying Cry:

Seeing clearly doesn’t mean sacrificing softness.

Power Moves:

With the Sun illuminating your zone of deep dives and under-the-bed demons, this can feel like a week when all the cracks in the paint begin to emerge. And you can find yourself getting uncomfortable with that famous gap between your reality and your ideal that you often inhabit as an aspirational air sign. Can you instead choose to see the perfection in imperfection, everything perfectly cracked in its process, just like it is in nature? Can you see yourself as part of this process? You’re a fresh little chick showing up again and again and doing its best with exactly what’s on hand. Hatch yourself open to this new way of being, sweet Libra.

Scorpio

Rallying Cry:

When I ask for assistance, I can truly go the distance.

Power Moves:

Reach out and touch someone this week, Scorpio. With the Sun shifting into your zone of relating, it’s prime time to take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see where you’ve been bearing the weight of it all unnecessarily. You’re a badass. You’re a survivor. And the next frontier of your fortitude is asking for help. Braving the boldest question of all, spoken to your friends and lovers directly and without hesitation. We’re ready and willing Scorpio. Just say the magic words.

Sagittarius

Rallying Cry:

There are as many ways out and in as I’m willing to access.

Power Moves:

Feeling trapped is one of your greatest fears, wild pony, and this week’s shift of the Sun into your zone of daily commitments finds you facing it with your full fiery flair. You’re primed for a major mental shift, and it starts with how you see the concept of imprisonment. Where in your life do you feel stifled? Where is the air getting stuffy and difficult to breathe? How much of this sensation is in your brain, and how much is in your body? You’re a Houdini this week, and the escape hatches are all around you if you commit to new ways of accessing a sense of spaciousness.

Capricorn

Rallying Cry:

When I give it up and turn it loose, the road rises to meet me.

Power Moves:

As the Sun shifts into your Leo-ruled zone of popsicle sticks and endless summer nights, you’re getting bolder and more technicolored than ever before, Cappy. This doesn’t mean you have to blow out all the stoplights and completely revamp your sense of security. Start small, with tiny injections of color into otherwise gray landscapes. Microshifts in how you show up and what you’re willing to risk. One task left undone. One choice per day in favor of pleasure instead of duty. You’re undoing the laces slowly, Cappy. Savor every triumph in your process of releasing the controls.

Aquarius

Rallying Cry:

My guts will lead me to infinite glory.

Power Moves:

With the Sun activating the feeling factory of your chart, this week starts a monthlong cycle of emotional self-sufficiency for you, Aquarius. And with every great expansion and seizure of what’s truly yours, there comes the inevitable pull of doubt. Look at your decision-making process clearly this week, Aquarius. Where do you feel those gnawing, nagging voices? And more importantly, where have you been making decisions from your brain alone, without answering to the deeper pull of your emotional body? Feel into your choices and let yourself build a profound trust in your capacity to follow your instincts without hesitation. Know that whatever is falling away is clearing the way to glory.

Pisces

Rallying Cry:

Radicalizing my story line liberates my future.

Power Moves:

As the Sun kisses your zone of curious foreign languages, you’re ready for a seriously starlit upgrade of your consciousness, Pisces. We’re talking complete beginner’s mind, where you can trust so deeply in all the experiences that have come before that you can make the leap into an entirely renovated way of thinking. There’s a pattern of talking to yourself and about yourself that has run its course, water babe. This may be centered around how overwhelming things are. How you simply can’t handle it all. But this is merely mental overwhelm, sweet Pisces. You can hold it all and then some. You’re more infinite than you can possibly know. Delight in all that’s unknowable.

Aries

Rallying Cry:

Reckoning with reality releases my full force.

Power Moves:

You’re the zodiac’s original warrior, Aries, and this week finds you ready to bring your flavor of fire out into the world as the Sun ignites your zone of worth, value, and abundantly juicy gifts. This is an earth zone, though, and you’re asked to face up to what is before you can make your mark on it. Treat this process like a dance in an enclosed room. Work with the walls. Find expansive creativity amidst limitations. Trace your body against the contours of things as they are, and let this liberate the kind of bravery you were built for.
